Resolving data objects to types
-------------------------------
As you build out your schema in Graphene it is common for your resolvers to
return objects that represent the data backing your GraphQL types rather than
instances of the Graphene types (e.g. Django or SQLAlchemy models). However
when you start using Interfaces you might come across this error:
.. code::
"Abstract type Character must resolve to an Object type at runtime for field Query.hero ..."
This happens because Graphene doesn't have enough information to convert the
data object into a Graphene type needed to resolve the ``Interface``. To solve
this you can define a ``resolve_type`` class method on the ``Interface`` which
maps a data object to a Graphene type:
.. code:: python
class Character(graphene.Interface):
id = graphene.ID(required=True)
name = graphene.String(required=True)
@classmethod
def resolve_type(cls, instance, info):
if instance.type == 'DROID':
return Droid
return Human
